Went a couple years ago.

We met a villa fan so insisted on iviting us into a villa only pub (password needed for entry), but after a drink we left. We should have stayed. Only 2 other pubs near the ground. One refused to allow us in even though we had no colours because we didn't say we were villa fans. The other one charged us over 2 quids, and even then away fans were only allowed to the temporary bar in a marquee out back.

In short, the pubs near the ground are a pile of s**t
